40 Watt Dummy Load:

I needed a QRP - 50 Ohm 40 Watt dummy load to tune my Z11. I found this article from CQ February 2003 "A Dummy Load for Just Pennies" by Irwin Math *WA2NDM. I modified it by using parts and stuff from my junk box. Yes, I actually had 20 - 1K Ohm resistors, some perf board and a coax connector with a bit of coax in it!
